@BigDaddyO See prior discussion starting here --

I think My issue may be unique.  When inspecting the dropdown select box before selecting it, I see all the options.  but when I attempt to select one of those I get a message about not attached to the document.

I got around this by finding and clicking the dropdown select box, then doing the full find again and then clicking the option I want.

$eHIPPAtype = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[contains(@id,'callerTypeOptions') and not(contains(@id, 'callerTypeOptions1')) and contains(@class, 'callerTypeOptions')]")    ;Perform additional search for the field
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $eHIPPAtype, "click")  ;Click the dropdown to get the list
sleep(1500)
$eHIPPAtypeMbr = _WD_FindElement($sSession,  $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[contains(@id,'callerTypeOptions') and not(contains(@id, 'callerTypeOptions1')) and contains(@class, 'callerTypeOptions')]/option[contains(@value, 'Member')][1]")  ;find the first object that contains Member
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $eHIPPAtypeMbr, "click") ;Click the item we want from the list

@BigDaddyO Probably caused by some Javascript "voodoo" going on in the background.

Hi Danp2

I want before Navigate browser set my proxy ( ngocthang1.vpn.co:8899:ngocthang26:ngocthang26 ) and add ABP extension, I see you suggest 2 link for everyone
+ http://chromedriver.chromium.org/capabilities

+ http://chromedriver.chromium.org/extensions

But i don't know transfer to DesiredCapabilities, How do set proxy ? sorry i very bad code.

#include "wd_core.au3"
#include "wd_helper.au3"
Local $sDesiredCapabilities

$_WD_DEBUG = False


$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"chromeOptions": {"w3c": true }}}}'

SetupChrome()
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.google.com/")
_WD_Window($sSession, 'maximize','')
;~ $hwnd = WinWaitActive("Google")
;~ WinSetState($hwnd, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
_WD_Action($sSession, "refresh")


Func SetupChrome()
_WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
_WD_Option('Port', 9515)
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path=' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log')
EndFunc

Thanks you

Hi @ngocthang26

I haven't personally had the need to do either of these actions, so I can't tell you exactly how to do this. If I get a chance, I'll try to check this out and report back with any findings.

In the mean time, you'll need to do what I would do in this case, which is to research and then use "trial and error" until you find a working scenario. The proxy subject came up once before in the main development thread. You may want to check out the links posted by @mLipok here.

 

[ngocthang26]

Hi @Danp2 I try very many code but don't set success Proxy.

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities":{"chromeOptions": {"w3c": "true","browserName": "chrome", "args": ["disable-web-security"], "proxy": {"proxyType":"manual","httpProxy":"10.179.70.127:10801","sslProxy":"10.179.70.127:10801","autodetect": "false"}}}}'

You can try help me, i try link you sent but don't know transfer code.

 

 

[Danp2]

@ngocthang26 Have you tried it like this? Note that the proxy definition is outside of chromeOptions.

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities":{"chromeOptions": {"w3c": "true"},"browserName": "chrome", "args": ["disable-web-security"], "proxy": {"proxyType":"manual","httpProxy":"10.179.70.127:10801","sslProxy":"10.179.70.127:10801","autodetect": "false"}}}'

Also, is that your actual IP address for the proxy or just something you pulled off the internet?

how to send keystrokes i didnt understand the example in the demo :c

[Danp2]

@Shogi you'll need to be more specific. Which part of the demo did you not understand? What element type are you attempting to interact with? Which browser? 

What have you tried? Show us your code.

[Shogi]

DemoActions() part ... i didnt try anything :c im just trying to learn how to send keystrokes :c can you give me a code that send keystrokes to the active  element also im using both google chrome and firefox

[Danp2]

Take a look at DemoElements. DemoActions is an advanced feature that shouldn't be needed just to update at element 

[Shogi]

i found how to send keystrokes  

edit: it worked with geckodriver but didnt work with chromedriver  chromedriver is so broken and full of bugs :c

I'm going to be running an automation as a Citrix Published app but I'm having all sorts of problems since each user is technically launching the same chromedriver.exe from a single box.

It seems to lock the .log files, so I switched that so it creates @UserName & ".log" but I also seem to be having a problem where each instance needs to use it's own port# but chromedriver doesn't seem to launch on anything but the 9515.

if I try any other port, the black window shows up but the website doesn't appear.  Again, I'm using my simple script for testing.

any ideas?

Change this --

If _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\' & @UserName & '.log"') = 0 Then Return SetError(1)

to --

If _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\' & @UserName & '.log"' & ' --port=<your port #>') = 0 Then Return SetError(1)

how to enable adobe flash in firefox ?!

I seriously doubt that anyone here knows how to do that without doing further research. You can't expect to come here and have someone spoon feed the answers to you.

What have you tried? What research have you done?

[Shogi]

i tried this but didnt work 

{"moz:firefoxOptions": {"prefs": ["dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libflashplayer.so","true", "plugin.state.flash", 2]}}

from here

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43376707/how-to-enable-adobe-flash-in-firefox-selenium-webdriver-with-firefoxprofile

 

[Danp2]

@Shogi Looks like you have the wrong format, based on information posted here.

This works for me --

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"moz:firefoxOptions": {"prefs": {"dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libflashplayer.so": true, "plugin.state.flash": 2}}}}}'

 

[Shogi]

thank you  also why i cant send keyboard and pointer actions to google chrome using chromedriver?! i used this script to test 

#include <wd_core.au3>
#include <wd_helper.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>

$hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

_WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
_WD_Option('Port', 9515)
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log"')

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"chromeOptions": {"w3c": true }}}}'

_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
_WD_Navigate($sSession, "http://google.com")

while 1
    if _IsPressed("73", $hDLL) then 
    _WD_Action($sSession, "actions", '{"actions": [{"type": "key","id": "keyboard","actions": [{"type": "KeyDown", "value": "a"},{"type": "sleep", "duration": 5},{"type": "Keyup", "value": "a"}]}]}')
    endif
wend

@Shogi That feature isn't currently implemented in Chromedriver. You can read more about it here.

Also, you can check overall implementation status for Chromedriver here.
